⬛ OPERATIVE CLASSIFICATION

Threat Assessment

SIGNAL VERIFIED
Signal Crew

Bound to the protocol. Fighting to keep the station alive.

Crew Member
Crew
CLEARANCE A

Station personnel working to stabilize HELIX-9's critical protocols. You don't know who the infiltrators are — only your own loyalty. Vote carefully. Trust no one.

CREW
SIGNAL COMPROMISED
Shadow Cell

Their allegiance was never what it seemed.

Adversary
Infiltrator
COMPROMISED

Hidden among the crew. You know your allies. The crew does not. Your mission: corrupt protocols, sow distrust, and destroy the station from within.

INFILTRATOR
Wildcard
Executor
UNKNOWN

If the crew identifies the infiltrators, the Executor gets one final chance — name the Analyst. A correct guess hands victory back to the infiltrators.

WILDCARD

⬛ MISSION BRIEFING

How to Play

01
Assign Roles

Pass the phone secretly to each player. Everyone sees only their own role — infiltrators also see each other's identities.

02
Form a Team

The Mission Leader proposes a team of players to execute the next protocol. Team size changes each round.

03
Vote

All players vote to approve or reject the team. Majority rules — but 5 consecutive rejections means an automatic infiltrator win.

04
Execute Protocol

Approved team members secretly vote SUCCESS or CORRUPT. Any single corrupt vote fails the mission — no exceptions.

05
Win the Game

3 stabilized protocols → CREW WINS. 3 corrupted → INFILTRATORS WIN. Unless the Executor gets the last word.

⬛ CLASSIFIED MECHANICS

What Makes It Different

// SIGNAL 01

The Executor Twist

Even after the crew exposes the infiltrators, the game isn’t over. The Executor gets one final shot — name the Analyst. A correct guess reverses everything.

UNIQUE MECHANIC
// SIGNAL 02

Zero Friction

No app. No account. No download. Open a link, pass one phone. You’re running a mission in under 60 seconds — five languages built in.

INSTANT PLAY
// SIGNAL 03

Everyone’s Screen

Switch to Companion Mode: each operative plays on their own device. Real-time sync, secret roles, no passing. Or stay with one phone — your call.
